Religion and public matters in Pakistan


Here some issues pertaining to religion in Pakistan

  •  Noise Pollution: There are several mosques where I live. The  Azaans (call for prayer) via loudspeakers go on for over 30 minutes or more. Every mosque wants its 5 minutes of fame. Fortunately I do not living right next to one, but they are fairly close. The noise over hundred decibels enough to kill people or make their ears bleed. Each mosque tries be louder than the next.
    It is similar to the public transport people who want traffic ahead of them to move, they use very loud horns, the horns become louder so as to be the one to be heard over the others. As if that will help make the traffic move faster. or  other drivers ahead of them would move out of the way.    
    Many mosques recite the Koran so loudly that it can ruin anyone's sleep.The people who run the mosques have absolutely no consideration for the people in their neighbourhood. It is uncivilised, uncouth and stupid. Disturbing other people for fanatical religious reasons is unacceptable.
  • Lack of sense of sanitation:  The slaughtering of animals in residential areas causes filth, stench attracts flies and consequently results in the spread of diseases. It is disgusting but it is done fanatical fervour. To date no one accepts the idea of buy livestock and having it slaughtered in a slaughterhouse. People whose brain has stopped functioning do this, they do not realise the harm they are doing to the environment and to the people around them. It is extremely offensive.
  • Friday confusion: During General Zia's time, Friday made the weekend and Sunday was a working day. This went as long he could remain alive. This was changed. Sunday became the public holiday again. Many people continue to treat Friday as a public holiday, particularly shopkeepers, they work on Sundays. There is no standard and it is very confusing.
  • Absence of entertainment:  It is considered very pious to avoid any kind of entertainment. TV channels are on required to avoid show anything entertaining on religious occasions.The people do not want watch TV should not, why interfere in the affairs of other people?

The blessed and the cursed

The only way to get a really grand job is to be in the right place at the right time. Hardwork, talent, ability and intelligence means nothing. All that you learnt at you university or college is worthless. Consider a man working his butt off for years in a company, suddenly finds out the companies boss has been jailed for not paying taxes. The company winds up and the hardworking man ends on the street. He put in his life in the company – now his pension has gone and he is an old man with no chance getting another job. Lots of people try to be become movie stars end up they are too ugly, their voice is terrible and they just simply stupid – it is all matter of being bad luck. Others regardless of how they look get great part in some movie and end up acting in a film which makes lots of money. A good luck also accounts for the fact that some people can get away with mass murder and never be held accountable for their crimes and some one get just kill one person and be jailed for life ...

Mysterious kidnappings

Young students in their twenties are being kidnapped from Karachi and other cities. Though reports about these are kept secret, but with the frequency they are taking place, there is bound to be a leak  and people eventually get to know about this. But the question is who responsible and why is it happening. There are no clear answers. But the people who get away by committing such crimes are obviously are very highly placed, they are virtually above the law. No one can arrest them, even though the evidence is overwhelmingly against them. This is a new way to terrorise the people, it simply boils down to this. If the police and other law enforcement organisations are unable to prevent crime, the people would be forced to take up arms against those who murder, kidnap and steal. Whatever the reasons for the kidnapping, is irrelevant, the people protecting the kidnappers will face the wrath of the people. No court, no judge is going to prosecute these criminals. There is a limit t...
